Whilst Alty-Macc is a tasty affair, Chester-Wrexham is more well known nationwide, maybe more so because of what happens away from the grounds. As they want as high viewing figures as possible, I don't blame BT here.

It's a big derby game that will probably attract a full house, with lots of Wrexham fans unable to get a ticket for the game. From that point of view, it's an absolute no-brainer.

Post by: Saughall Robin on July 18, 2014, 08:42:12 PM: It looks like (Apart from the cross-border shindig in Chester) BT are giving as many teams their one moment of glory before concentrating on the title contenders later in the season. I think on that basis, we can expect to be on against someone innocuous in November or February.

Unless of course we become title contenders in which case we'll be on throughout March and April. :D

Plenty of clubs do highlights so I think Alty Tv should be okay.
